Pang. Marcos bibiyahe sa Washington sa Apr. 10; may trilateral meeting kina US President Joe Biden at Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida

Biyaheng Washington sa Amerika si Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. sa Abril 10 para sa trilateral meeting kasama sina US President Joe Biden at Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

Sa pre-departure briefing sa Palasyo ng Malakanyang, sinabi ni Foreign Affairs acting deputy undersecretary Hans Mohaimin Siriban na ididiga ni Pangulong Marcos ang pinakahuling insidente sa West Philippine Sea kung saan tumitindi ang tensyon dahil sa pagiging agresibo ng China.

“Yes, I think we can expect a discussion on the recent incidents. Of course the joint vision statement is still under discussion but we can expect an alignment of views among the three countries on the recent incidents in the West Philippine Sea,” pahayag ni Siriban.

“Of course, we will continue to call on peace and stability and that the recent incidents be solved in a peaceful and diplomatic manner. But, of course, we will note the recent incidents, and our three leaders are expected to include this in their discussion and in the vision statement,” dagdag ng opisyal.

Agad namang nilinaw ni Siriban na ang trilateral meeting ay hindi nakadirekta sa iisang bansa kundi ang pagtataguyod sa economic cooperation.

“During the summit, the three leaders are expected to discuss their common vision for the Indo-Pacific Region, as well as explore opportunities for enhancing trilateral cooperation across various areas of mutual interest. These areas include inclusive economic growth, developing critical and emerging technologies, climate change cooperation and clean energy supply chains and promoting peace and security in the region,” pahayag ni Siriban.

Bukod sa trilateral meeting, may bilateral meeting din si Pangulong Marcos kay Biden. (DDC)
